When draining an area of acute infection, if submandibular lymph nodes are enlarged, nontender, soft, well defined and movable, is this true or false?

True

Additionally, the lymph nodes being nontender, soft, well defined and movable supports that they are reactive and responding to the infection. Therefore, this statement is true and the other answer options are incorrect.
